I have been using XAMPPlite in my university web courses because of its portability and it s ability to run under Win 7 without being installed as a service. This has made it possible for my student to use USB drives to develop their prototypes at home and bring them to school to demo them. However, I noticed that this product is no longer available. Is there a way to install and use the XAMPP zip version as portable as the XAMPPlite?

I realized that XAMPP lite 1.7.4 for Windows has not been released for a while now. Will there be a XAMPP lite in future releases? I apprechiated the lite version very much to use on my portable USB stick.
